Radical Islamists have infiltrated the Irish asylum seeker system and are attacking and intimidating workers an employee of Limerick refugee centre has claimed.

The man, who is of Middle Eastern origin and has remained anonymous, told the Limerick Post that gangs of extremist Muslim men have assaulted staff and mentally abused them.

The man going under the pseudonym “Ivan” has said staff are too afraid to take action because the Muslim extremists will be supported by other asylum seekers who have conned the direct provision system.

“Ivan” told the Limerick Post

“I have dealt with these people personally and have had a lot of conversations with them in relation to their personal life, social life and religious beliefs. In some of them I have found a worrying level of extremism, bordering on hatred, which could potentially manifest in some sort of devastating way, as their numbers will continue to rise”.

Ivan went on to state that many migrant centres in Limerick are full beyond capacity due to the migrant crisis and because criminal migrants in the UK have made a home in Ireland due to our lax border controls.

Ireland is also used as an open back door entrance to the UK and the whistle-blower claims the government is well aware of these issues.

Ivan has expressed concerns that Ireland’s open door to these extremists and criminals could result in disaster.
